Bloody planning permission!

[psychocandy]

all he had to do was ask you not to drive on his lawn?

maybe all you had to do was mention that you'd noticed he had put the planters there to stop you driving over his property and you would be a good neighbour and he wouldn't be complaining about your planning application...

Lawn no. Patch of mud with weeds on yes. and 3 inches of it at the edge.

...in theory I guess they could make me take the roof off and make it the correct height which would be a nightmare...

if someone's right to light is infringed and/or if the planning officer is a jobsworth that is probably what will happen.

It's a fair point, if I do get a jobsworth - but my mitigating argument would be that we built the garage 300mm lower than the house so, in theory, they would be no worse off then if we had built it as per plans and be a foot shorter.

More shyte I don't need.

Granted it sounds like nothing, but if you see he has put something there to stop you doing it, then surely if you bring it up and explain and give him an opportunity to say something then it puts it to bed.

Chances are he is going to say no worries anyway, or he would have come out and said something straight away.. why on earth someone would want to live next door to someone and let something that has the potential to fester go unsaid is certainly beyond me.

It doesn't matter if it's one inch, three or a foot - you are encroaching upon somebody else space, not as a one off but as regular occurrence. Your attitude that it doesn't matter is symptomatic of the lack of consideration towards others endemic in this society.
If it was my strip of land you would by now have had your tyres shredded

I'm converting my detached garage into an office, I have sufficient parking for 9 cars on my driveway, do you think this will be sufficient?

Not for when you hold the cuk annual party round there.

Precisely. Good relations with your neighbours is a prize to be cherished and nurtured. Talk to them.

I think if it was your land, he'd have moved.
